Home Health Fraud

When healthcare services are provided in the home, it creates another opportunity for abuse of the system.

People who qualify for home health services deserve properly credentialed, licensed caregivers who show up and perform useful services. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Home health companies have defrauded the Government—and hurt patients—in the past through schemes like these:

Hiring unqualified workers

Failing to monitor whether visits are taking place

Failing to provide needed services during visits

Billing separately for items or services that should be provided as part of the regular fee
